La Primavera is the first and longest Monument of the season. A flat course overall, with some short hills thrown in on the Northern Italian coast, makes Milano-Sanremo a very fast race. This route is fast, too: after a relatively flat first half of the ride you’ll hit the coast, to finish after riding over Dalmaji hill. This climb is the closest you’ll get to riding the Poggio in Korea. A good season opener to test your fitness, or one to take it easy on a hot and humid summer day.
